Didn't we walk this road last year?  
I think one of the issues was 8-12 steam crew required for such a
bash.

Two R classes and 15/16 cars up Ingliston Bank last night was
*awesome*.   Add R711 with its new tyres and you have three locos
coming into and out of sync with the stack talk.  But you'd need 30
cars to have them working hard.  How do you fill thirty cars???
(Obvious answer: close the Ingliston Road).
